This is a very long chapter but I think you will all like it. I have this weird thing where I don't update unless I get reviews. So, I hope you all review. Enjoy!

Jack had left Bobby's apartment and went home. The brothers were supposed to be having dinner to discuss some "issues" that had been coming up lately. Basically, they were going to investigate who was coming and then go and kick somebody's ass. Jack was now in the shower letting the water run down his lean muscles. He was tired of being talked down to as if he didn't know anything. His brothers let him in when they needed his help. He heard knocking on the door. He started to rinse off, figuring that Angel probably wasn't going to answer the door. When he heard the door open he slowed down. As Jack went to grab a towel the door opened and there was Serena standing in the doorway with a nude Jack in front of her. Their eyes met briefly and she then took off running down the steps quickly. Jack wrapped the towel around his waist and went after her.

"Serena! Wait! Serena!" Jack called running down the steps. He slipped and fell. He laid on the stairs thinking what the hell could've made her take off so fast.

"What the hell happned?" Angel asked laughing. He offered Jack a hand and helped him up. "I don't know. She opened the door as I was getting out the shower. She saw me naked. Then she left" Jack said absentmindedly. Angel burst out laughing. He laughed so hard he was crying.

"Do you realize what you just said?" Angel asked through his laughter. Jack shook his head. "You just said she saw you naked and left. Damn you must have a really small-"

"Shut the fuck up Angel, she should've knocked" Jack snapped. He headed back upstairs, replaying the scene over and over again in his head.

"Sorry Jack," Angel said following Jack up the stairs into his room, "it's my fault. I didn't know you were showering so when she asked where the bathroom was I told her. I told her nobody was using it. But she should've heard the water." Angel laid down on Jack's bed messing with Jack's guitar.

"Well, I had turned it off by the time she got there" Jack said pulling on jeans. There was a knock on the door again.

"I'll get it" Sophie called from downstairs.

"Where'd she go?" Jack asked Angel taking his guitar back. "You're going to mess up the strings and I just tuned it."

"Sorry...anyway she used the bathroom downstairs. Did you speak to Bobby today?"

"Yea. He didn't tell me anything. What did he tell you?" Jack asked looking around for something.

"I spoke to him after you spoke to him- wait you won't tell him I told you right?" Angel said eyeing Jack skeptically.

"I won't! I'm just tired of not being told anything! Why should I be left out just because I'm younger or whatever the fuck your reasons are for not telling me what the fuck is going on? Shit! I can't ever fucking find anything here!" Jack was venting and Angel understood that because he was once in Jack's shoes.

"Jackie listen. I know it's hard but it's our way of loving you. We don't think you should know everything but don't we always tell you...eventually?" Angel said trying to console Jack.

"Yea but that doesn't matter. Because it's always you or Jerry to tell me. It's never Bobby. This time either he tells me or I'm not fucking helping you. You know what? Fuck this dinner. I'm not coming!" Jack yelled. He grabbed a shirt, his jacket and a pack of cigarettes. He went downstairs not bothering to listen to what Angel was trying to say.

"Jack, wait! Jack! Fuck! You're making a mistake. Don't leave just because of Bobby, stay for Serena!" Angel yelled as Jack was opening the front door. Jack stopped and looked at Angel.

"Why the fuck would you say that?" Jack asked wondering what would make Angel say that.

"I see the way you look at her. And then when you came home today and said how you got pissed when you saw Bobby and Serena on the couch together...come on. It's obvious your attracted to her. So stay. It'll make you feel better" Angel said closing the door and pulling Jack back inside the house.

"Fine. Does this mean I'm still cooking?"

"Yea...now if only Jerry and Bobby were here we could get this fucking meeting over with. By the way, all Bobby told me was to stay away from them" Angel said following Jack in to the kitchen.

"He told me the same thing" Jack said pulling ingredients out from the refrigerator.

"So I guess we know what this means..." Angel smirked.

"Time to investigate ourselves" Jack said returning the mischevous smirk.

"Hell yea!" Angel said grabbing Sophie who was passing by. He gave her the most passionate kiss and then turned to Jack and said, "Excuse me but I have some er - oh fuck!" Angel and Sophie were already tearing each others clothes and headed to one of their secret rooms.

"Wow...they never stop, do they?" Serena joked. She looked gorgeous leaning against the door in jeans and a wife-beater. . Her long dark hair was resting on one shoulder and she still had a pink tint in her cheeks from blushing when she saw Jack undressed.

"I guess…why did you run before?" Jack blurted out. He didn't want to ask and create an even more awkward situation but he really wanted to know.

"Well, you were naked and that is rude to stare and I really had to use the bathroom. If I didn't I would've gone right there!" Serena said trying to laugh. She wanted to ease the tension that had built up. And she was trying to get Jack's naked body out of her head.

"Oh. Sorry. I didn't mean to shock you like that. Was I that ugly?" Jack asked grabbing spices from the cabinets overhead.

"I didn't really see anything. If you were wondering. Do you always cook without a shirt on?" Serena asked now standing next to the sink.

"No. I just forgot to put a shirt on after I showered. It's right over there could you hand it to me?" Jack asked with a smile.

"Sure" Serena replied not really wanting to hand him the shirt. Serena got the shirt and watched as he put it on. His muscles stretched as he lifted the shirt over his head and flexed and his fixed the shirt in place. "Can I help with anything?"

"You don't have to. You're the guest" Jack said watching Serena's hand rake her wavy hair.

"There's nothing else to do and besides, I like to cook" she said.

"Okay well, if you can grab the pots and pans, they're right behind you. Then you can make the salad. I don't know how to make rice so I'm hoping you do" Jack said moving over to where Serena was. She grabbed the pots and pans and placed them on the stove.

"Yea I can make rice. Is this fine?" she asked after filling the pot with rice. Jack nodded and they continued working as Jack put on some music. They stayed quiet working on whatever foods they had decided to cook. Jack went to reach for something as Serena turned around and they bumped into each other. They tried to move out of each others way but kept bumping into one another.

"Wait" Jack said putting his hands on Serena's waist to stop her from moving. He leaned over and reached behind her for paper towels. Jack ran one hand up her arm and enjoyed the feeling of her soft skin on his fingertips. Their faces were very close and their breath was mingling in the air. Jack leaned in further and feel Serena's breath on his lips.

"Those fucking assholes!" Bobby yelled slamming the door. Jack and Serena broke apart and went into living room and found Jerry trying to calm Bobby down. "We've got to talk. Now!"
